Wladimir Klitschko, who is starting to be compared to heavyweight greats of the past, will look to attempt make his 11th defense of his lineal title and 18th consecutive defense as a fighter with a portion of the heavyweight title.

Perhaps the comebacking former champion Shannon Briggs was wrong?

Earlier this month the 43 year old slugger, who had been campaigning very hard to fight Wlad, hinted Klitschko vs Jennings would flop.

"The world wants to see me and this man [Klitschko] fight," stated the former belt-holder.

"I don't know why he's fighting Jennings. No one knows Jennings. This is a fight no one wants, that no one cares about. This is about money and glory, let's'make it happen in New York City."
